Pearl Fishers OF the RED Sea.

Some 800 boats Of from eight to twenty
tons burden, and with crews Of, in the
aggregate, about $500 men, mostly ne
gro slaves, are engaged in the pearl fish
cries Of the Red sea, which yield from
100000 to $3.50, 600 n year. One-third
OF the income the owners of the vessels
retain; the remaining wo.thirds are dis
tributed among the rows, which makes
an average of $50 to $40 a year to every
man. In former days Djeddah, near
Mecca, in Arabia, was the port where all
the pearls were taken and sold; but since
the government imposed an import duty
of eight per cent. upon the pearls the
fishers commenced carrying their shells
to Masso wah and Suakin, on the African
coast, where they have only one per cent.
oi duty to pny. AT present the latter
ports receive about three.quarters of the
entire yield, hardly o%ne-quarter Of it still
going to Djeddah. From these ports
the pearls are transported TO Cairo and
Alexandria, in lower Egypt, whence most
OF them go to Trieste, upon the Adriatic
Sea, few only reaching London and Ha.
yre directly from Egypt.

Some Bad Blunders.

A diplomat made a funny blunder
when he approached Mrs. Hornsby to
take leave of her at her "tea." The
lady said to him, care you going so
soon?" and he answered, II always do
at your house." He thought she had
used the stereotyped expression, Il
hope you have enjoyed yourself?' and
he got off the usual answer to this
query. Another foreigner was trying
to be complimentary to those who
write society matter for the papers out
side of Washington, and inquired who
is Ben Burly Boor! 1t is such amusing
blunders as these that give piquancy
to the broken English of the diplomats,
But it was a society lady who, when
told that the President would appoint
Attorney-General Garland to a foreign
mission, inquired if tho mission select
ed for him was to the s'Boers!" As
the Attorney-Genera does not read
newspapers it is not likely that he will
see this; therefore there is no danger OF
wounding his feelings Washington
